OSKAR ANDREJ KOGOJ, who was born on the 23rd of November 1942 in Miren near Gorica, is a world-famous industrial designer, academic and, above all, an artist.

He has participated in numerous group exhibitions since 1963 and has had many solo exhibitions since 1970.

His works of art are kept in more than 100 museums and permanent collections all over the world. He has exhibited his works in more than 350 exhibitions in Slovenia and abroad, and since 1969, he has received more than 50 different international awards and recognitions for his outstanding work.

Oskar Kogoj, a Slovenian design ikon, can create unforgettable shapes through his touch and charisma. His designs do not only go down in the history of design but also touch the souls of those who obtain his creations.

He is highly sensitive to the integration of the human soul with the laws of nature, and therefore his ideas are combinations of the transcendental with the material reality. We should not forget that he is deeply committed to Slovenian tradition and open to the world as a whole at the same time. He is a great explorer of the forgotten knowledge of old civilisations, a worshipper of nature and a seeker of the truth.

His spirituality is strongly reflected in his work.

Oskar Kogoj’s productions are of high quality and originality and are also profound in terms of the communication of ideas. They contain elements of heritage, and as such, they provide information about Slovenian culture and creativity to people all over the world.

When choosing gifts, we should ask ourselves what message we wish to convey and how well we know the gift recipient to whom we wish to show attention, gratitude, trust and respect. Above all, you should not give a gift only because you received a gift. No matter what kind of gift and who we are giving it to, it will always express our feelings, our culture and our tastes.

In our sales gallery in the village of Miren, where you can also visit the permanent collection, you can find unique works of art, which are the results of many years of research and study of handwork, complex technological processes and classic and contemporary design. Kogoj’s works of art are made of various materials, including porcelain, ceramics, glass, wood, metal, bronze, stone... Each work of art comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and an explanation of its symbolic meaning in Slovenian and English. If requested, the purchased item comes with hand-made gift packaging.

It is certainly easier to choose a gift if we are familiar with the values of the gift recipient’s cultural environment. We should try to choose original and innovative gifts, meaning that the gifts should not always be similar, for example giving glasses to the same person over and over. If we always choose similar gifts, we run the risk that they will lose all value in the recipient’s eyes – unless the recipient is a collector. We should also keep in mind what gifts we have received from a certain person, so that we do not »return« the same gift to him or her.
